Graduate Study in Biomedical Imaging
Location: CWRU
Website: http://bme.case.edu/bmil/
Brochure: PDF
Message:
Here is an opportunity which you might not have considered: PhD study in biomedical imaging! We have multiple positions available for highly qualified domestic students under an NIH training grant. The focus of the training grant is “Interdisciplinary Biomedical Imaging.” We have many examples of students who have successfully moved into biomedical imaging from other undergraduate training programs such as electrical engineering, physics, computer science, and chemistry. Research involves MRI, SPECT, PET, image visualization/analysis software, imaging of cancer, molecular imaging agents, etc. We continue to accept applications from qualified individuals.
The training grant includes free graduate tuition, stipend, and travel award. Government fellowships are normally tax free.
Attached you will find a brochure describing our program and below is an abstract from our training program grant.
If you are interested in exploring this opportunity, please contact David Wilson (Professor of BME, david.wilson@case.edu), who is PI on the grant award. To be considered, you must apply to the BME or Physics PhD programs at Case. Normally, we will expect applicants to have a GPA > 3.5, excellent letters, and/or research/industrial experience.
Best regards,
David L. Wilson, PhD
Abstract:
The Interdisciplinary Biomedical Imaging Training Program will prepare predoctoral trainees to become leaders in organism-level, biomedical imaging research. Multi-disciplinary teams of engineers, physicists, biologists, and clinicians are required to advance biomedical imaging, especially with the advent of in vivo cellular and molecular imaging. We will create the next generation of interdisciplinary biomedical imaging scientists and engineers who will contribute to and lead such teams. Our training program will build upon recent research infrastructure awards and institutional investments totaling ≈ $37M in biomedical imaging. In addition to the creation of state-of-the-art imaging facilities, the number of imaging faculty members has increased from 3 in 1999 to 20. A training grant award will place students squarely in the center of on-going interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary research programs. Trainees will use new imaging facilities in the Case Small Animal Imaging Research Center, which includes 4 MRIs, micro-SPECT/CT, micro-PET, 3 bioluminescence, in vivo fluorescence, etc. Predoctoral trainees will be from the highly-rated departments of Biomedical Engineering and Physics, both of which have a long history of training in biomedical imaging. Trainees will conduct research projects combining enabling technologies in imaging with biomedical research. Each trainee will have a primary mentor who specializes in enabling technologies, or applications, and one or more co-mentors who specialize in biomedical research. A steering committee, realistic rules, and a student portfolio will ensure suitable research experiences. A comprehensive educational program will include a portfolio of imaging courses, including Cellular and Molecular Imaging and Interdisciplinary Imaging Discovery Group, a new course specially designed for interdisciplinary education. We will promote a culture of interdisciplinary research in a series of diverse activities during a designated Imaging Hour. A training grant will help ensure training of PhD’s in this area of critical need.
Relevance to Public Health.
Biomedical imaging enables early detection, assessment of therapy, and minimally-invasive treatment of disease. Especially with the advent of cellular and molecular imaging, biomedical imaging research requires persons with strong interdisciplinary training.

Dear Colleague:
I would like to call your attention to the American Chemical Society International Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program (ACS-IREU) for students majoring in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Materials Science, and other Chemistry related fields. This program is funded by the National Science Foundation, in partnership with the Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst (DAAD), the German Chemical Society (GDCh) and the European Chemistry Thematic Network (ECTN).
Eighteen students will be selected to receive the ACS-IREU Scholarship to conduct research at selected institutions in Germany, France, Italy and the UK. Detailed information and online application and recommendation forms can be found on our web site www.acs.org/ireu.
In addition to providing a quality research experience for all undergraduate majors in the chemical sciences, the program has a mission to help students develop a global scientific perspective, establish international collaborations, gain exposure to a different culture and language, and participate in research projects of high current interest and potential for publication.
To qualify, students must be US citizens or permanent US residents, be rising juniors or rising seniors at the end of the program, and have one semester or summer of prior research experience. Although helpful, no foreign language expertise is required . All qualified students, including females and members of underrepresented minorities are encouraged to apply.
I would appreciate it if you would bring this program to your students' attention by displaying the enclosed poster in a location visible to students in your department. Please feel free to contact me should you or your students have additional questions about the program. My contact information is below. Thank you for your assistance!
